I grabbed 5 brand new plugs out of a GXL in the junkyard, I was wondering if they'll work in my S5 TII.

 

All 86-95 rotaries used bureq7 leading and 9 trailing stock.

 

where was the 5th spark plug?

 

Don't all rotary owners keep a spare sparkplug in the car for when one of them fouls due to running rich?

 

uh, sure... it's not just you, i swear.

 

I'm pretty sure mine are fouled, which is why I'm asking. So the answer is yes?

 

 

I guess nobody else caught that...

 

must be a knoxville thing

haha

Why would you use sparkplugs out of a car that you have no idea how long its been there?

Go to a auto store there 4.50 a piece

 

WoW

 

By brand new I mean they were still in their boxes in the storage bins. I didn't yank 'em out the side of the engine. They're brand spanking new. Jeez you guys!

 

But you didn't say that did you? Those who can't read minds assumed you got them out of the engine.

Like Mark said, if you have a pair of BUR7EQ's and a pair of BUR9EQ's, go for it.

 

Um, right. Now I get to sound like a n00b and laughing is appropriate. I don't knowwhat BUR7EQ or BUR9EQ means. I took the plugs out of my engine and they look nothing like the plugs that I picked out of the junkyard car. Mine looked much different (although I'm guessing all rotary plugs look like these) from the ones I picked up, which have normal electrodes that need to be gapped. If that makes any sense. I think what I'm trying to say is the plugs I got out of the car aren't for an RX-7... (I've only had the car since July and haven't had to change the plugs yet, so don't laugh too much!)

 

uh...maybe you should leave the wrenching to someone who knows what they are doing.

BUR7EQ and 9...those are PART NUMBERS. Yeah...you know, those little numbers PRINTED ON THE SPARK PLUGS? Yeah, those.

IF the part numbers are those, they are stock 86+ rotary plugs. IF not, they are for something different. DO NOT put plugs with standard electrodes into a rotary, you can grenade the motor by physical interference. There are racers, tuners, and owners of highly modded turbo engines that experiment with other plugs with different properties and heat ranges, some of which are standard electrode plugs...but they have made damn sure there will be no interference with the rotary. I have taken apart core motors that died from physical interference because some dumbass put some standard electrode plugs in their rotary and busted the apex seals in half.

Put the tools down and step away...slowly.

 

dude you are funny lol

 

Fixed

 

Hehe, yep. The light's clicking on right....about....now. Well I feel like an ***.

 

Don't let the door hit your *** on the way out?

Haha, I beat your ninja edit too!

 

Take those normal spark plugs and sling them in a lake somewhere far away from the rotary engine!!!

BTW Kevin trips me out....hhhahah

 

They're not normal plugs, they're the right ones. I just didn't put two and two together that BUR7EQ was the part number.

 

did your teacher tell you to take your helmet off????




i needa drink now




oh ya it seems you dont know much about your car,how about selling it to me,ill give u 4k!(when i get back obviously)

 

Maybe if you didn't buy that Lincoln POS you coulda bought your FC back and been hangin' with me Tim and Kevin
